Bienvenidos a Copán Ruinas

We made it! 26 hours after our Eugene departure, we arrived in Copán Ruinas. Despite the weariness that comes from a sleepless night and long hours in confined travel seats... there's excitement in the air about the adventure that's already begun.

First thing we noticed when we stepped off the plane in Honduras... it's a bit warmer in these parts. It was 100 degrees in San Pedro Sula earlier today, and it's currently 75 degrees here in Copán Ruinas (at 10pm!).

After unloading our luggage at the hostel, we made our way to the nearby StoveTeam factory for an awaiting fiesta. We were humbled by the hospitality... which included delicious food and a live marimba band! Rest assured... we will eat well while we are here. Very well.

The group is looking forward to catching up on sleep tonight as tomorrow we check out the Mayan ruins and pay our first visit to the indigenous community we're working with this week.
